NTSB narrative

THE PLT STATED THAT HE HAD JUST LANDED ON RUNWAY 20 & WAS CLEARED TO TAXI ON THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY, NEXT TO RUNWAY 15. AS HE WAS TAXIING, THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED PROPELLER BLAST FROM AN OV-1, ENGINE RUN-UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TAXI- WAY. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT WAS BLOWN SIDEWAYS OFF THE TAXIWAY.

Probable cause

INADEQUATE VISUAL LOOKOUT BY BOTH THE PILOT OF THE BOEING E75N1 AND THE PERSON RUNNING UP THE OV-1 (THEIR FAILURE TO SEE EACH OTHER AND AVOID THE OCCURRENCE).

  • Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
  • Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
  • The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
